Troubleshoot graphics

Microsoft FrontPage can only crop photo gallery images down to a certain size. If you find that your graphic is too large, you can insert it onto a blank page, crop it like you would any other graphic, and then resave and reinsert it into your photo gallery.

You must first choose the picture editor you want to use to edit your graphics. You will need to choose one for each type of graphic you want to edit. To choose the picture editor, do the following:

1. In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Design .
2. Right-click the graphic, point to Open With, and click Choose Program on the shortcut menu.
3. Under Choose the program you want to use to open this file, click the graphics editor that you want for this file type, and then click OK.

If you do not see the graphics editor you want in the list, click Browse for more, locate and click the one you want, and then click Open.

 Note   You cannot specify a graphics editor for animated GIFs that is different from the one you set for GIFs (GIF: A graphics file format (.gif extension in Windows) used to display indexed-color graphics on the World Wide Web. It supports up to 256 colors and uses lossless compression, meaning that no image data is lost when the file is compressed.).

• This can be caused by one of the following:

You acquired this graphic from another Web site

You need to publish the image or the folder to where all other graphics are located on your Web server

This can be caused by one of the following:

• The destination may have moved or may no longer exist      Verify that the file exists by viewing the destination file in your Internet Web browser (if the file is on the Internet), or by using Microsoft Windows Explorer (if the file is on your hard drive or a network).
• You may not have access to the destination     If the destination file is on the Internet, make sure you have a connection to the Internet.
• There may be a technical problem     If you believe that the file you are linking to exists and that you have permission to link to it, try deleting your temporary Internet files.

How?

You may be trying to link to a page or directory that does not have anonymous browsing permissions.

• If the destination is on a network, contact your network administrator to ensure that you have access to the destination file.

Microsoft FrontPage bases the percentage width or height of a graphic on a portion of the browser window (or table cell) and the aspect ratio (aspect ratio: In computer displays and graphics, the ratio of the width of a picture or picture area to its height. For example, an aspect ratio of 2:1 indicates that the picture is twice as wide as it is high.) is not preserved. If you want to preserve the aspect ratio, you must resize the graphic by entering the width and height size in pixels (pixel: A single unit of measurement that your computer's display hardware uses to paint images on your screen. These units, which often appear as tiny dots, compose the pictures displayed by your screen.).

Some cameras and scanners require that you first install hardware drivers on the computer that you will connect the camera or scanner to. See the instructions from the manufacturer of your scanner or camera to determine if you need to do this.
